Installing the Forward Berth – Episode 177 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
This video ends with Carolyn's excitement to sit on the frame she built for one of the saloon setees and we'll get a glimpse of Steve laying down on his future berth thanks to all the work shown in this week's episode. A water tank will go inside the space that Carolyn is fitting wi...
The Pleasures of Square Carpentry – Episode 176 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Buttoning up the forward bulkhead with coats of sealer and varnish makes way for some interior joinery in the forepeak that Steve has plenty of experience producing. Tools that have long sat dormant in the shop are whizzed back into life to create square mortise and tenon joints. We were hoping th...
Bonus: The Satisfying Process of Sealing Wood (ASMR) – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
We’ll see you Friday for a regular episode, but we’ve had a lot of requests for less speaking, and for perhaps something with a calm pace. We won’t be changing how we’re documenting progress on Arabella, but we wanted to release a bonus video showing one particular process from beginning to end. So...
100-Year-Old Mahogany Trim – Episode 175 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
In the past, we've had a look in the garage at the piles, en masse, of the mahogany lumber that came out of Victoria, but this week's video goes through a pretty extensive and specific inventory of what we have to play with for reclaimed wood as we put the interior together. Carolyn patte...
SHIPWRECKED sailboat on uninhabited Abrolhos island sailing WA – 117
SHIPWRECKED sailboat on uninhabited Abrolhos island sailing WA - 117 How come we had never heard about the shipwreck of the Batavia before we came to The Abrolhos Islands? The mutiny and mayhem that took place on these beautiful remote islands, in 1629, is almost too incredible to believe. Now 392 ...
The Floor Plan, Bonus Video – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
A big reveal here: We have a close look, side by side, of Steve's plan for Arabella's interior laid alongside Atkins's fairly general layout he envisioned would fit the needs of most cruisers about a hundred years ago. This conversation between Steve and Satchel, our marine architect ...
Pitching the Bilge – Episode 174 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Short run of merchandise available at acorntoarabella.com today: We've got planking offcuts of various sizes, frame offcuts from that closed-up port side of the boat, rejected copper rivets, and challenge coins from @SV Seeker. (Doug's launching in a couple of weeks, hope you're follo...
The First Bulkhead – Episode 173 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
The pesky, dangerous maple that serves as an anchor for the boathouse comes down in this episode, and Steve (who has worked in the past as an arborist, and of course, felled the trees for the lumber in Arabella) goes through a couple of specifics about how to safely drop large limbs from a tree, mak...
House Top Interior, Fairing and Painting—Episode 172—Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
A big part of strip-built construction isn't the glue-up itself, which is a satisfyingly quick process, but is the fairing and finishing process that comes after. Steve and volunteer Grant (thanks again, Grant!) fill large imperfections and voids in the seams of the glued strips with structural...
Cedar Strip House Top, Gluing Up – Episode 171 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
The mock-up, and now mold, for the cabin house is finally put to work as the cedar strip-planked house comes together. Building this crucial part of the boat with this method has many reasons, chief among them being that strip-planking is extremely strong and waterproof, and that we don't have ...
Exploring WHITE LADY CAVE in SOUTH WALES (Gone wrong) No. 91
Between getting really lost, not carrying the right equipment and exploring caves which were not meant to be explored...this adventure was definitely one of those we shudder about when remembering. However, after more research, we went back to explore White Lady Cave in its entirety and wow, we were...
Finishing the Port Side Planking – Episode 170 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
The last plank... for now, anyway. This episode doesn't feature the whiskey plank, and Steve does a very good explanation for those who have been asking about the difference between a shutter plank and a whiskey plank. We've got four shutters, and like all boats, one whiskey, which is stil...
The Best of BOAT LIFE ~ Spearfishing and Exploring in the EXUMAS ~ Postcard 19
This may have been our FAVORITE stop in the Exumas! Lee Stocking Island has so much to offer, and we loved spending some time here, exploring underwater and on land.

Arabella Gets a Makeover – Episode 169 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
As we've been finishing the rest of the planking on the port side, we have had groups of helpers lend a hand to clean up Arabella's interior. Most recently, David and his son, Grant, card-scraped the interior and applied Danish Teak Sealer to planks and frames. Boy, what a difference this ...
Port Side Sheer Strake – Episode 168 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
The weather our here in western Massachusetts has been a bit wacky. Though colder days pushed off the possibility of gluing early in the season, we're now dealing with really hot days and thunderstorms—but that's not slowing us down as we scoot along planking on the port side of Arabella. ...
Bracing for the Sheer Plank – Episode 167 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Getting the nib-ends of these full-length planks fitted into the rabbet fore and aft is one of the hardest tasks of planking Arabella. Since we don't have any wiggle room to move fore or aft, the cuts need to be dead-on for the planks to sit correctly. Additionally, since shutter planks are san...
WING FOILING in George Town & we explore an ABANDONED MARINE RESEARCH CENTER ~ Postcard 18
We are in George Town, a popular cruising destination in the Exumas, Bahamas. We're waiting out some strong winds and make the best of them by getting out WING FOILING, and Tom even gets a gig doing some coaching! After a week, we decide to head back north to enjoy some more of the Exumas befo...
Installing the Oak Shutter Planks – Episode 166 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
It's a big moment here in the Acorn to Arabella boathouse. We have been steadily working on closing up the hull and now the oak shutters are going in. After these are installed, we will only have six more planks to go. Two cedar strakes will lead up to the final black locust sheer strakes. Rig...

SHORT ~ MIND = BLOWN ~ Our first TOW-IN FOIL SURF session! ~ Postcards From Bagheera
Welcome to our first official SHORT! See why we're making this kind of videos here: We were chasing a swell forecast in the Bahamas, and the wave we wanted to surf didn't end up shaping up as the direction was a little off. Luckily, we have foils! And our awesome friend Mike (from youtu...

Wrapping Up the Mizzen Mast – Episode 165 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
The mizzen mast has been tandem project as the planking has progressed. Alix chipped away at it between other important tasks, and now it's finally finished! Of course, the hounds and hardware need to be installed, but this big, beautiful, repurposed piece of Victoria's past and Arabella&#...
